Red Dead Redemption Coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Exciting Platform Expansion for Red Dead Redemption

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Red Dead Redemption and its expansion, Undead Nightmare, will be officially launching on multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices. This highly anticipated release is scheduled for December 2.

Enhanced Features and Free Upgrades

The new versions will feature a host of enhancements:

• 60fps performance
• Improved image quality and HDR support
• Up to 4K resolution on consoles
• Mobile-friendly control options for iOS and Android

Players who currently own Red Dead Redemption on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the compatible digital Xbox One version can upgrade to this enhanced edition at no cost. Moreover, save data from older versions can be transferred to the new consoles, allowing for a seamless transition.

ESRB Rating and Zombie Content

A recent ESRB rating indicates that the game will maintain its mature content rating due to elements such as blood, intense violence, nudity, strong language, and more. Notably, the rating references “zombies,” hinting that fans can look forward to the beloved Undead Nightmare expansion as well.

Background and Recent Events

Originally released in 2010 for older consoles, Red Dead Redemption continues to attract players with its captivating storytelling and gameplay. With the recent announcement, Rockstar seems to be preparing for a busy year, especially given the pushback of Grand Theft Auto 6.

In addition, Rockstar faced recent criticism from fans and employees following the dismissal of over 30 staff members tied to leaked information about company operations, which has raised concerns regarding worker rights and union activities.
